[Q=laurrao]We have a timeshare in Costa Rica, one week per year....Can I just not pay the maintenance fees and walk away from it?[/Q] Is it deeded property or Right-to-Use (RTU)? Since it's in Costa Rica, it's likely RTU but check your contract to make sure. If it is RTU, then it is likely just a membership that you can walk away from by stopping paying all maintenance fees. You will likely face a bunch of collection calls and letters plus a possible hit on your credit rating. But the membership will eventually terminate which is what you want. If you have deeded property, well that's a little more complicated.
